I got my ears pierced 6 months ago and it's still infected. My ear lobe is so sensitive that whenever i touch it it quickly becomes hot and red and is always very swollen and thick (lobe area). Watery fluid comes out whenever i drain it but it just keeps coming back. I have been using antibacterial creams ect. But nothing seems to be working. What can i do to fix this? Will it be like this forever? Can i get more piercings?
